Farmer Lyrics
He’s waking up in the pitch black
coffee in a cup
out the door before the dawn cracks
A quick prayer in the barn
Lord we sure could use some rain
He climbs up in the tractor
takes a hundred laps, wakes the kids up after
And a quick kiss from your baby
then it’s time to start the day
He’s giving all you’ve got to give and going ten steps farther
It’s a dusty cap and coveralls that you put on like armor
Yeah, the days are long and the work is hard
But your calloused hands are harder
Yeah, the only thing tougher than the farm
Is the farmer
It’s dinner time, it’s sunset
Knowing that a bunch of folks that you ain’t met
Can gather round the table with enough to pass around
It’s a good dog in a dirty truck
A hand helping your neighbor up
It’s the whole world counting on us
And we ain’t gonna let them down
It’s giving all you’ve got to give and going ten steps farther
It’s a dusty cap and coveralls that you put on like armor
Yeah, the days are long and the work is hard
But your calloused hands are harder
Yeah, the only thing tougher than the farm
Is the farmer
Steady as a fence post
Shoots straighter than a cornrow
The world needs him, God knows,
That’s why he made the farmer
It’s giving all you’ve got to give and going ten steps farther
It’s a dusty cap to cover all that you put on like armor
Yeah, the days are long and the work is hard
But your calloused hands are harder
Yeah, the only thing tougher than the farm
Is the farmer
God bless the farmer
